My private practice is dedicated to providing a holistic approach to trauma-based
responses encompassing: mood disorders, self image concerns, addictions, and secondary
trauma. I am currently developing a working model for this approach entitled: Movement
and Mindfulness Based Repatterning (MMBR.) The current model works to distinguish
specific thought and chemical patterns unique to each client, and develop customized
treatment approaches based on these findings which target diet, exercise, meditation
and mindfulness activities in concert with individual therapeutic interventions.
My current research interests include the use of bio/neurofeedback as tools to formulate
a deeper understanding of accurate interventions effective for each client. Specifically,
I am particularly interested in different types of exercise and movement and their
relationship to neurotransmitter, hormonal and psychophysiological changes in the
body which produce desirable and efficacious longterm changes.
